description

<p>It is supposed that beavers inhabited many of<br />the streams of this province before man, the<br />arch-enemy appeared on the scene. The late<br />Dr. Caven, * we are told, discovered traces of<br />beaver dams on Dunk River. It is evident<br />that our climate and natural conditions are<br />favorable to the existence of this valuable<br />and harmless furbearer. There are many<br />acres of low lands that are absolutely valueless<br />and which could be used very profitably<br />as beaver ranches. The animals provide for<br />themselves, do no damage to property, their<br />food and the material they use for their dams<br />and huts consisting almost exclusively of the<br />small sapling trees growing on the banks of<br />the streams in which they live.</p><p>Charlottetown Guardian, 31 October</p>
